Title
New Spectrum Bands for HAPS: Sharing with Fixed-Satellite Systems
Abstract
High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) are being studied as a viable, easy to deploy and to maintain technology to provide isolated areas with connectivity. They can be integrated to existing cellular networks and have a wide coverage area, presenting a lower cost than satellite systems. The deployment of HAPS, however, demands that country administrations allocate and release spectrum for the system. That is why ITU is studying the possibility of identifying the 24.25- 27.5 GHz and 38-39.5GHz bands for HAPS. Even though these bands are already allocated to the Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS), the bands could be shared, as long as the HAPS stations do not cause harmful interference to the existing and future FSS stations. This paper presents a sharing study between these two systems, to assess the amount of interference the deployment of the HAPS in these bands would cause to the FSS. We conclude that, with some basic coordination, the two systems can share the same frequency band without damage to the FSS.
